The government should not have the authority or legal right to set any minimum wage standards.
It is pure socialist wealth redistribution.
It holds the hard workers and top performers down and boosts the slackers and low performers up.

In that particular location, no one because the store shut down. In other locations they’re saying the employees have to do the work in fewer hours.

I’ll bite: No one is doing the work. It costs the business too much to sell fast food at what the traffic will bear, pay the employees, maintain the operation, and turn a profit.
The woman was an assistant manager. She managed other employees and probably did some work serving customers herself. She can add that position and related skills to her resume and use it to find a better job or the same job in the service industry or another managing other employees. ...Or begin the climb again in another job.
If she was already doing better than the minimum, she can’t run the operation by herself as it costs too much to employ staff to work it (and for her to manage) in lieu of the franchise owner.
Do I have that right? What am I missing in your question?

The Ford Principle, in reverse.
Now she can get unemployment and learn to get by on less with fentanyl and marijuana, saving the climate.

first rule of economics: true minimum wage is zero.
Amen and amen. I have been pounding that inot my children's head for the last few years as all this stuff kept going on. But other people still think they all deserve a six figure salary out of the gate. However, with inflation going gangbusters, they might get what they are asking for, good and hard.

What happens next? Another business in the same industry hires a bunch of illegal aliens and pays them cash under the table.
It’s California, dude.

Large increases in Minimum Wage laws have proven to be "Survivors' Benefits" in all cases! The policy decision to be made is just how many "Survivors" do you want to have?

No one is doing the work. You are only addressing half the equation, the supply side. There was a demand for the product they sold which is no longer available, so where does that demand now get fulfilled?

So for whatever they sold, where do the customers go to get that product now?

Fosters Freeze is a restaurant chain. Nobody is replacing a location that closes. It’s an industry that does business that is almost entirely discretionary.

My guess is that the journey towards a retail desert in California will continue.

So the customers stop eating altogether, go somewhere else ( $$$ more business for them $$$ ) or they shop and make their own meals at home. Which is it?

Ok, so who is doing the work of these OVERPAID people let go? Is the work not getting done? Perhaps this postition needed eliminating anyway.

No one - they closed the restaurant.
